Brief summary

To compare clinical safety & efficacy of fixed-high potent statin therapy (according to 2013 ACC/AHA guideline) vs. targeted LDL-C goal statin therapy (LDL\<70mg/dL) for secondary prevention. Total 4400 patients with coronary artery disease patients requiring statin treatment were categorized fixed high-potent statin group and targeted LDL-C group. The investigators will compare primary endpoint (major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular event (MACCE)) and secondary endpoint (1. New onset diabetes mellitus after randomization, 2. Hospitalization due to heart failure, 3. Deep vein thrombosis or Pulmonary thromboembolism, 4. Percutaneous trans-luminal angioplasty on peripheral artery obstructive disease, 5. Aortic intervention or operation, 6. ESRD with renal replacement therapy).

Interventions

DRUGfixed high potent statin therapy

Patients assigned fixed high-potent statin group will be received high-intensity statin therapy (atorvastatin 40mg or rosuvastatin 20mg) regardless of their baseline LDL-C levels, and maintain high-intensity statin therapy regardless of their follow-up LDL-C level.

DRUGtargeted LDL-C goal statin

1. Statin naïve patients: Patients will be received moderate intensity statin therapy (atorvastatin 20mg or rosuvastatin 10mg) 2. Patients already received statin therapy * Baseline LDL-C \<70mg: same intensity of statin therapy * Baseline LDL-C≥70mg: uptiltrated statin therapy Patients will be tiltrated statin intensity guided by follow-up LDL-C level ( Attained LDL-C \< 50mg/dL : down regulated intensity statin therapy, 50mg/dL ≤ Attained LDL-C \< 70g/dL: maintain current intensity statin therapy, Attained LDL-C ≥ 70mg/dL: up regulated intensity statin therapy)
